In the biggest climate commitment made by any nation, China pledged to go carbon neutral by 2060. While it will be challenging for Beijing to achieve its goal, China’s plan to become a green superpower will have ripple effects around the world. Illustration: Crystal Tai

Reciprocal Behaviour: all Chinese cars should require local batteries
china made all of the consumer products for rest of the world but their carbon emission per capita is still only half of australians and americans, yet the west is constantly complaining they are not doing more
The world factory certainly emits the most carbon – it is actually everyone of us who buys from China helped emit these carbon. The emission has to be there be it China or another world factory, if we do not restrain from high consuming lifestyles.
ok, i hushed myself alot on ths, china is the leading country in coal factorys, they burns more coal and have 4x the c02 emissions that the rest of the world combined. no mention of tat on this video huh. people dont realize it takes power to start and keep these wind turbines up, its coal. same thing US does to, but a portion is thro solar. If u belive this video, go look at the emissions videos from space over china, its literally burning.
China will not reach carbon neutrality without a significant amount of nuclear energy yet you don't mention it.
Today I found out WSJ readers are not capable of critical thinking.
You didn't mention the hydropower of china..which is the largest renewable energy source in China
Promises that will never be met….
USA topped in CO2 emissions more than 100 years 😂

The ignorance and gullibility in this video is astounding. Chinese manufacturing is successful because its lack of environmental regulation facilitates cheaper Production of goods. China is not going to give up market share. China will continue to pollute. A politician making a promise about 40 years into the future (and 20 years after they leave the position) is just a waste of breath.
I never thought I'd say this
But I'm actually proud of china
This is pointless, we need to be carbon negative in the next 8 years, if we don't do that then we hit 1.5° c, which then has a cascading domino effect, how there is not yet mass chaos I have no idea
is that bladerunner soundtrack back there?
Way the go China. Here are two more things you can do to be even better :
1. Stop your Third Reich Nazi routine in Tibet.
2. Take your filth and pollution producing facilities out of third world countries like Serbia.
Isn't 2060 way too late?
Need coal to drive green energy. Lithium batteries are extremely toxic
fake goods flood around the world, CCP your `evil`
TBH, I have more confidence in China meeting its target compared to say….the US.
China has 30% of worlds carbon emissions
Since 1990 China per capita greenhouse emissions have increased 251%. The US has decreased 24%.
Still burning coal
Maybe everything will be ok in the end after all, that’s l take away from this video.
It's an impressive goal, but still only a goal.
Don't look up!
This video tells you: China is threating the world by making the clean energy so cheep!!! It so bad!
Me: What?
If China wants a world left for them to rule, they need to lead the charge with renewable energy ASAP
China is the biggest polluter because they are the factory of the world. What is baffling is the degree of pollution produced by the United States considering their corporate state has outsourced most industry to wage-slavery overseas.
The advantage that China has is that its leaders don’t need to constantly compete with the opposite party, and can actually focus on improving the country.
USA was the largest carbon emitter from 1850 to 2009 .
CO² production per capita and year:
USA: 15.52 tonnes
Germany: 9.44 tonnes
China: 7.38 tonnes
Not to forget that China produces a lot for CO² countries…which means that its very own CO² production is below these 7.38 tonnes…and the CO² of the countries it produces for is higher.
The US has 1/4 of China’s population and yet emits an amount equal to half of China’s carbon emissions. Wouldn’t it make more sense if instead of 15% of the world’s carbon emissions we emitted 7.5% since our population is 1/4 of China’s? China is a massive industrial country, but for us, all 330 million of our citizens need cars to do the most basic things. If anything, we are the ones that need to fix the emissions because China is already doing that.
If you believe China is going net-zero, you need your head examined!!!
Wrong its just keeps going carbon: total Rubbish.
Let's see.
One good move.
Almighty God bless everyone in the Global World 🌎
Were going to be in a post apocalypse from the USA year 2050/2060.
Yeah sure. They will begin the transition in 2035, 2040. All they are doing is buying time to keep polluting
The US can’t blame China on pollution when they have over 3 1/2 times more people than the US
The CCP knows that by 2060 any promises made in 2023 will be as meaningless as the Congress of Vienna. The western nations that were foolish enough to move their heavy industry to China can be counted on to torpedo their own economies for zero-emissions, while Chinese government mouths all the right phrases to convince the idiot left outside their borders to try and stop the incoming tide …. while they supply the components.
Meanwhile more coal-plants are being built in China . Why ? Because it actually makes sense. Especially if your elite advisors and geopolitical strategists don't really believe in global warming or the climate crisis, but see it as a geopolitical opportunity. This plausible explanation seems has escaped the notice of western media, along with the possibility that they may be right .
2060 is way too late, but at the same time, I have a larger faith in China will actually reach the total than in the dysfunctional western "democracies". Here in Sweden, the new fascist-backed right wing government has slashed spending on climate and environmental mitigation and even on preparedness for the changing climate. Even domestic emissions are now projected to go up in Sweden. While at the same time we also but all of our stuff from China and Bangladesh.

We can go at around 2040 ,20 years earlier or more
🇺🇲Goal: Trump neutral by 2025🇺🇲
Three years later, China maybe peak this year, 6 years ahead of plan.
Love China’s commitment!!
